Luckily, practical reasons prevent customer models from becoming too detailed: Nobody wants to repeat that time Google got sued by their own ad server farm because millions of theories of mind at once had become sophisticated enough to qualify for human rights

Band name of the day: new lines for a new mind
the artist as a hydra, budding tulpas to be transplanted onto silicon: poet hives, sentient kaleidoscopes, trickster spirits, monad minds that hold only enlightenment and never talk
sentient artworks, not just artificial art minds but actual parts of a once human artistâs mind, isolated and distilled, happily carving crystal trails into artspace

Around here, minds form thoughts. in the Platonic plane, thoughts form minds and there is talk of an Actual plane where minds are real
I swear work can not make up its mind. One moment, they want things calculated one way. Then the next a different way. Finally they want it back the way it was. What a waste of time and effort

second-order AIs amuse themselves by designing minds, sleek and efficient ones but also art minds that extract the greatest possible beauty
watch out for infrared transmissions. donât freak out. keep in mind: killing a planet with intelligent life on it is a crime. also bad form.

There are so many alternatives like ipfs or scuttlebutt, but i fear that we loose the simplicity of the old protocols. That in my mind is the main attraction of twtxt.

Signs of a mind being digested by the web: It turns outwards, advertises its presence, presents itself in palatable, bite-sized thoughts
The web lures in minds with novelties and trinkets. Some, its venom paralyzes. Others, it enslaves to grow the bait.
Been checking out Dyalog APL lately - itâs definitely a mind-bender.
Turned to their sides, like gates, theyâre transparent and her mind is in full view. Thoughts flit around like fish, peer at you curiously
You donât even recognize the characters anymore. Itâs like someone left the camera running and youâre peeping in the authorâs mind.
To save CPU, the simulators deduplicate parts of minds common to many humans, which sometimes causes ideas to leak between similar minds
borgasm (n): when a hive mind figures out the fun button
a distinct selective advantage for memes is to break the mindâs use-mention barrier
lost+found but for minds: some with owners missing, some simply refusing to return, others not even human, probably lost by alien tourists
Too many minds? Trouble with ingroups springing up everywhere? Atomize the problem with our Molochâą mindkiller!â”CALL 555-CIVILIZATION
weâve done all we can to make you understand that we exist only within your mind, but you wonât believe usâ”â”anyway, please donât wake up ok?
mind virus: words only, needs a host brainâ”mind bacterium: tiny self-sufficient mind, can infect brains but is perfectly happy to eat books
this explains âsacredâ meaning: insight is rewarded by our minds on a fundamental level, and one failure mode of that is meaning overload
Accelerate an object for an imaginary time and it gains negative energy; an unprotected gaze and its imaginary impulse may derail your mind.
donât make your metaphors too fertile or theyâll become a weed and grow all over your mind
What is a skull? It not only keeps the world out, it also keeps a mind from dissolving. The difference really comes down to skull thickness.
Minds exists in a sweet spot between isolation and dissolution. Too high the bandwidth and a mind starts to prefer the outside over itself.
A mind becomes its own universe the moment itâs sealed off from the outside. Conversely, universe becomes mind the moment it makes contact.
low planes have high planesâ”within their minds to describe âemâ”these high planes have higher planesâ”and so, ad infinitum
At some point, we stop storing knowledge in books and just archive entire minds to resurrect when needed. To attain immortality, know.
larval worlds, slowly pulsing and glowing from within, sucking from idea conduits, growing in the writerâs mind to hatch through the fingers
the few that donât succumb to seizures describe it as âspread out- one with the world but not in a good way- things stirring within my mindâ
Your mind has guests. No parasites, no, but satellites that run epicycles around your thoughts. Subtle, weird, emergent epipsyches.
Contact is rather one-sided. They splatter against protons like flies against windscreens and we scrape them up, hoping to read their minds.
a river in your mindâ”of snaking churning protean sludgeâ”remakes what furrows it flows overâ”never finds a sea to end in, only joins itself
A silicon symbiont that projects the mindâs contents into cyberspace, where infovores feed on them in exchange for âlikesâ and âvalidationâ.
You feel dizzy as they draw your nectar, whole dream worlds flash by, but ïœïœ the pollen they leave, alien ideas that melt into your mind
to scrub a mind clear, feed it conceptual noise, everything-but-reality, to untie and undo all concepts it has learned, one by one

instrument a mind with debugging hooks to catch all âat least they didnât come up with [âŠ]â thoughts
Old school liches store their souls in crypts, modern ones encrypt their minds and make backups. The rules stay the same: donât touch that.
The page says only âmind the gapâ, but you turn it over. It has no reverse. Your gaze rests on nothing and falls, your mind follows.
When the author stops telling a story, the story doesnât end but the author loses control over it. Keep that in mind when self-inserting.
2050: Gods are now a commodity. We put little angry box gods into prison dice. Their results poison the mind, but we enjoy the thrill.
Stones, worn smooth from bumping into other stones constantly.â”Minds, creased and crinkled instead, with lots of things hanging on to them.
The stroke stole all his words but the stories still burn in his mind. He now cooks them, talks in spices to people his subtlety is lost on.
As he got old, he forgot all the words but his mind stayed sharp. Down to hundred, ten words, he became a master of ambiguity and context.
many avatars work this way: most famously, the mind as an avatar of doubt

The Thought (K)not tangles with your mind and is indestructible by force. Solve it with your fingers, pay in knotted thoughts.
Note that we employ a great number of door/lock metaphors when talking about our minds. What would be the metaphors of a doorless society?
Theory: The symbolism on doors is so heavy because passing through one coincides with a change of environment (and accordingly, mind).
in the recesses of your mind, memories compost into fertile soil for invasive dreamweedsâ”is your grandma green & leafy? maybe thatâs why
Thought superconductors are impermeable to memories due to field interactions. The mind inside experiences everything in the same instant.
Does anybody have a good idea for a default color set? I used the first color that crossed my mind, so the default theme is rather ugly.

Contacts lenses for a hyperopic mindâs eye, which finds it difficult to focus on concrete concepts and perceives only abstractions clearly.
No wonder he was pissed and kicked them out: They shattered the idealist world spiritâs unity of mind.
snow is falling in my mind, muffling any noiseâ”silenceâ”â”but the world returnsâ”I shake my head vigorously to stir up the snow once more
the eye in the wall opens, takes you inâ”you see your image on the other sideâ”whatever mind is behind that eye, youâre part of it now
